Ian Beckles: I’ve heard that Bruce Arians actually called out the offensive line and their attitude. Is that true? He said you guys the pace is not right. Has he called you guys out this year?

Ali Marpet: I think he’s called everybody out at this point. (laughs) So yeah, I think that his expectations of everybody are very, very high.

Marpet went on to say there’s a load of respect for Arians because of his track record, and Marpet said the running game should improve, in part, because of the scheme and “the unique game-planning ability,” but it will still come back to the gameday performance of the O-line.

Joe will stay positive and hope Arians will get the O-linemen playing to their abilities. If he can scare the loaf out of Donovan Smith and play to the strengths of Ryan Jensen, that should represent a solid uptick in performance.

Highly doubtful Suh is going to be anything less than a full-on beast under Arian’s accountability watch. He won’t put up with taking plays off. If Suh in full-on-BEAST-mode doesn’t excite, you need a blue pill!

and of course that loser Todd, the 1st to respond. Lol, Man Bro, give it a rest. It s Memorial Day Weekend, sign off Joe Buc Fan’s website and go get a life, make a friend or try a dating site to meet a girl.. Your loneliness and desperation really shows how lonely of a guy you are to have to post all day long on a football website

Nothing to do with ability just effort. Lol you wont that narrative stick at all because it calls out your blind obsession for Dirk who was a horrible weak minded coach and let’s licht off the hook. Very few fans want these players to succeed simply because they want licht fired.

It seems to not even matter. Everyone just blames it on the RB’s anyway. There were times the offensive line looked like an equestrian starting gate. I don’t know how many times Barber was practically being tackled during the handoff.

The really good teams spend premium draft picks on the Oline. Maybe by default because they usually pick at the end of the 1st round so lineman become best players on the board but even so, it seems to work.

I know this isn’t necessarily directly related to this article but as soon as B.A. was announced as HC that watch out for Ronald Jones. Dirk didn’t use ROJO properly and he crushed the kid’s confidence. I’m not saying ROJO is the next Walter Payton but I can see him continuing to improve and challenging Barber for #1 duties especially under the tutelage of Todd McNair, Leftwich, and B.A.

Right side of the line stays suspect this season mostly cause of demar Dotson. He’s getting old man. We all know there isn’t much there left in the tank. Granted he does have fight in him but we seen him get beat a lot last year when he did play. I think Capps steps up and has a decent season at right guard but not like ali market was at guard. I think right side of the field on offense will be used more as passing down situations.

Sorry RA real Bucs fans know Jason “not very” Licht is the problem and will continue until he’s fired. I hope they have a winning season, but there seems to be no sense of urgency. Another fourth place finish in the division is not going to cut it.

I’m thinking Succ and louden should become life partners in misery. Good luck with whatever it is that is so painful in your lives that you have to share it in a public forum rather than do.the hard work to address it with a professional.

Jones was drafted at age 20 looking like a high school kid against full grown men. In the second round. He needed to
Put on some man meat , hopefully he has. Otherwise the first time he gets hit again he will go back in his shell. I will be watching the first time he gets hit very closely this year. Also, not a fan of our GM drafts on RBs. If Rojo busts, it’s enough in my mind to boot him at the end of this year

Ronald Jones is listed at 5-11, 208. The top 10 rushers in NFL history average weight is 214.5, with 3 of them weighing less than Ronald Jones. I don’t know where the whole size thing came from, he may not be talented enough but if you ever watched Jamaal Charles or Warrick Dunn run, you’d realize you don’t have to be big to be good.

Rojo too small? The top 10 rushers in NFL history average weight is 214.5 (Ronald Jones is listed at 208). He might not have the talent, but Jamaal Charles, Warrick Dunn, etc. are proof you don’t have to be big to be good.

Glad to hear BA has called out the OL! He needed to. Any of them who do not give their maximum effort during games will be replaced just like GMC. And with all the extra coaches to give the backups a lot of reps this year BA will have other OL his Coaches will have developed this year and who have learned the playbook as well as the starters and will have tape of their efforts during Preseason and will know who he can trust to replace them with. It will also give him cap space to use to get any extra players he needs too.

If you don’t think its coaching, you haven’t been watching the games. Lovie had koetter on offense and couldn’t figure out game management or play calls for the defense with zero help from Frazier. Then comes Koetter, (who should’ve never been a head coach) only focused on passing and brought us that disaster known as Mike Smith. With this coaching staff the so called “busts” will surprise and the stars will be used to their full potentials….sidenote: ANOTHER KICKER!!! Did they not learn from last time?! What the actual Frick!!
